WormBase ParaSite REST API Endpoints

Versioning

This is version 12 of the REST API. We maintain both the current and one previous release of the REST service. Versioning is handled by the URL, e.g. /rest-12 will direct to release 12 of the website. To always retrieve the latest data, simply remove the release number from the URL, i.e. /rest.

Cross References

Looks up an external symbol and returns all objects linked to it. This can be a display name for a gene/transcript/translation, a synonym or an externally linked reference. If a gene's transcript is linked to the supplied symbol the service will return both gene and transcript (it supports transient links).
